Which quadratic trinomial can be written as the product of two identical binomials?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a² − 14ab + 49b²

The correct answer is A: a² − 14ab + 49b² = (a − 7b)². When a trinomial is the product of two identical binomials, it is the square of one binomial, so it must follow one of these identities: (p + q)² = p² + 2pq + q² or (p − q)² = p² − 2pq + q². Take p = a and q = 7b. Then p² = a², q² = 49b², and −2pq = −2(a)(7b) = −14ab. All three terms match option A exactly. Option B fails because the last term should be 49b², not 14b². Option C has the required positive middle term for (a + 7b)², but its last term is 14b² instead of 49b². Option D has 49b², but the middle coefficient is −7 rather than −14. Memory cue: in a perfect-square trinomial, the middle term is twice the product of the two square-root terms, with the appropriate sign.
